Confusion writhes around our hearts impatiently
It drains the faith that lights the dark and sets us free
From the chains of our war and the pain we once called love
The poison of doubt enslaves our minds and we bleed
We abandon the trust that kept us blind and disappear
Under the crimson wings of hate where the lost are safe
Well, if your hands start a-clappin'
And your fingers start a-poppin'
And your feet start a-movin' around
And if you start to swing and sway
When the band starts to play
Here we go
You wear your smile like a summer sky
Just shining down on me and you
I swear your heart is a free bird
On a lazy sunny afternoon
Did you get my message, the one I left
While I was trying to convince everything
That I meant in a minute or less when I called to confess
And make all of my stresses go bye-bye
Did you get my message, you did not guess
It's all clear, no need for you to fear
Nothing's under the bed tonight
It's all right, no need for you to fright
Nothing's after you tonight
If I pretend that I'm asleep,
I want to change the world
But I know I have to start with me
Can you help me?
When your world is closin'
Like it's comin' at ya
Bells will be ringing the sad, sad news
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Crowds will be singing "Silent Night"
You completely disappeared,
You could be a million miles from here,
You’re doin’ fine from what I hear, lately.
I guess you found your destiny,
If this is really how it’s meant to be,
Then movin’ on sounds good to me, baby
Dry your eyes and take your song out, it's a newborn afternoon.
And if you can't recall the singer you can still recall the tune.
Dry your eyes and play it slowly like you're marching off to war;
Sing it like you know he'd want it, like we sang it once before.
And from the center of the circle to the midst of the waiting crowd,
If it ever be forgotten sing it long and sing it loud and come dry your eyes.
Let's groove tonight
Share the spice of life
Baby slice it right
We're gonna groove tonight
Let this groove get you to move
